A Day at Edzell

“Edzell is a truly special place which gets the balance of care, learning and fun just right. All the staff are fantastic - not only experts in their field but incredibly dedicated, kind, caring and nurturing. It’s clear to see how much the children love them, and how well they respond to their teachers. As a parent, it was a huge comfort to know that my children were in such good hands and that the staff were easily available to speak to.

The emphasis on outdoor activities, both in the garden and in other locations, come rain or shine, was what really stood out about Edzell for me. My children’s favourite days were when they got to do art outdoors, tand hen bring their creations home with them.

My children could not have been happier at Edzell and it was the perfect preparation, not just for school, but for life. We all miss Edzell but are truly grateful that it was part of our lives.”

““We always felt confident that our little boy was safe, supported and stimulated at Edzell. The staff are all fantastic and bring a diverse mix of experience and expertise. The nursery has a great garden that the children were free to frequent whenever they pleased. Outdoor and independent play were a big part of the nursery environment, which our son responded really well to. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Edzell.””

“Both of our children attended Edzell from 2020 – 2023. We all absolutely loved our time here, our children were quick to settle but at the points where they needed extra encouragement, the nursery helped provide clear and articulated plans on how to ease the transition, looking at items to implement at home and nursery. This supportive and reassuring approach ensured this was a quick learning process and we felt comfortable knowing how the teachers would respond to my child when upset.

We witnessed our children’s confidence both within themselves and their abilities grow immeasurably during their time here; from their abilities to put on their coats and shoes, serve themselves snacks to comfortably make their voices recognised within the nursery environment, it was wonderful to see them both grow. All staff are fantastic, we have no faults at all and we were extremely sad to leave. The biggest testament we can attribute to the nursery’s success is how well my daughter was prepared for school. Edzell is a beautiful setting, which with its child-led focus and approach created a nurturing environment which is so invaluable within their younger years. The patience, kindness and understanding of all children is a huge testimonial to the nursery and I would thoroughly recommend Edzell to any parents of young children.”
